Hi there Judo fans, I am interested in exploring this martial art as it is one of the few I have not already added to my game. I have a few questions.
Are there any major Judo players known for No-Gi or MMA techniques specifically the same way Eddie is known for No-Gi BJJ?
Im not interested in putting on a Gi and visiting a Judo gym but if someone could recommend some videos or materials for basic No-Gi Judo techniques I would greatly appreciate it. (Is there even a culture of No-Gi Judo?)
Gokor Chivichyan, Karo Parisyan, Dave Camarillo, Rhadi Ferguson and Shinya Aoki all have stuff that is either No-Gi or it transfers over to No-Gi without much issue. I don't think there is much of a culture of No-Gi Judo, but many of the throws when transferred over are wrestling moves or slightly modified wrestling moves. Personally, I think the easiest Tachi-wazi techniques for a Jiu Jitsuka to learn first are sacrifice throws.
Ronda Rousey is also known for her Judo Throws in MMA. There are certain moves that transfer pretty good, others don't. Many of the sacrifice thows won't work in MMA or Nogi JJ because it's necessary to pull the sleeves. I'f you want I can film the Throws in the Gokyu which transfer to NoGi JJ.

This one is a wrestling variation because I could not find a Judo variation where one does not grab the sleeve.
There should be a NoGi Judo sport. It would prepare aspiring Mma fighters in the best possible way, in regards to takedowns. Combine the best parts of Wrestling, takedowns using clinching, with the best parts of judo, the submissions.
Maybe I will just have to become THE GUY to pioneer this (Too bad I have virtually ZERO Judo currently LOL)Quote:

Also, I am just now realizing that it might be the Gi that makes Judo what it is? As soon as the Gi comes off it's really just wrestling I guess. (or Judo-based wrestling techniques more specifically?)
Jiu Jitsu is basically Newaza focused Judo if you look at it that way. There are certain refinements in all grappling styles I find interesting and make them unique be it in Judo, Jiu Jitsu, Sambo, Luta Livre, Catch Wrestling, Freestyle Wrestling, Folkstyle Wrestling, Greco Roman Wrestling, Shuai Jiao, Aikido, etc.
I Judo-tripped someone during clinch-sparring yesterday.
I want to thank my fans, my coaches, everyone on the 10P forums, my friends and family for all the love and support. Couldn't have done this without them!
Good work. Trippin ain't easy.
Real talk.Quote:

Many judo instructors avoid grabbing the legs in respect to observing the judo competition rules. A healthy injection of judo and wrestling combined can create a monster. Personally, and I know it sounds cliche, Ronda Rousey's earlier fights got me into believing in the power of no-gi judo. She seems to have opened a lot of peoples minds on the topic.
^Great post
MANY judo gyms do not always train for judo competition, many older judo instructors still teach the old judo/russian judo with the lower body takedowns
Rhonda was a judo fighter and relied on upper body takedowns this lead to disaster vs holm, trouble closing the distance, miesha on the other hand used more wrestling and lower body takedowns which lead to her winning and avoiding being koed. Judo is more of a close range takedown which sucks against strikers cuz you have to close the distance. Judo takedowns are HIGH RISK except for some of the adopted trips which are barely judo at all
At the end of the day wrestling is wrestling the more rules (like in judo) the less fun it is
Great material Zog
